Designing your cloud with the right hardware is a critical decision you need to make when adopting OpenStack. It’s essential that you get it right or your cloud project could go up in smoke!

In this webinar, we will explore some of the different design options for your OpenStack cloud and what hardware decisions you must make to be successful.

Using real-world case studies, our expert team will explain how running Ubuntu’s reference architecture for OpenStack, on standardized open hardware, reduces the margin of error in the earliest stages of your cloud initiative.

Join Victor Estival (Cloud Architect at Canonical), Arturo Suarez (Product Manager from Canonical) and Johnny Wang (Sales Director from Quanta Cloud Technology) on May 26th, 2015 at 5pm BST to discover how you can design and size your enterprise OpenStack cloud for success.

Explore the limits of OpenStack scale, performance and resilience. With Ubuntu as the platform of choice for the largest, most complex, most performance-critical and most secure OpenStack superusers, Canonical has been called on to stretch the limits of OpenStack in all sorts of extreme environments.

Join Canonical’s James Page and Mark Baker for a tour of the outer limits of current OpenStack capabilities.

By attending this webinar you will learn:
- How to build a highly resilient network and infrastructure in your OpenStack cloud
- How to maximise performance using OpenStack
- How to scale OpenStack using Juju
